In the beginning there was this issue about not having sex every night and how cuddling made him hot, but I gave him a lot of space and showed him how fun/relaxing/sexy/energizing it could be. I think you should give Terry a little space to learn how to be comfortable with this things, just as he should give you space to learn how to not crave these things so much. Meet in the middle. I see how much you are really into Terry and I don't think you'll cheat on him. You shouldn't, even if I'm a terrible role model. AND you should both go outside of your comfort zones of "how do I show this person I love them?" and do things you wouldn't normally do. Maybe once in a while you can pick him some flowers and he could wait in the freezing ass cold and take the bus to your house. again, I don't think there is enough compromise. Don't feel like a douche either. these are valid complaints. LOVE YOU I know my weird fucked up relationship is not one to model…but we always cuddle. every night, even when were mad at each other.

I see how much you are really into Terry and I don’t think you’ll cheat on him. You shouldn’t, even if I’m a terrible role model.

AND you should both go outside of your comfort zones of “how do I show this person I love them?” and do things you wouldn’t normally do. Maybe once in a while you can pick him some flowers and he could wait in the freezing ass cold and take the bus to your house. again, I don’t think there is enough compromise.

Don’t feel like a douche either. these are valid complaints.

LOVE YOU

Sleep cuddling is the best thing ever. I don't think it ever should go away. Not unless there is something major going on that takes priority over the cuddles.

But he also brings me coffee and wine, and cooks every night. I know I have an unusual spouse, but I call him my battery charger. He gives me the energy to be more giving and loving in return. I have this theory that you just get so tired that you have nothing left to give to others. So someone has to be selfless enough to initiate it so everyone is recharged. 21 years together, we cuddle constantly. But he also brings me coffee and wine, and cooks every night.
